Don't panic, the family boss is busy farming

Chapter 279 Bean Rice Hot Pot
Xu Yue only came home half a month ago, and Jun Mei, who was already the little housekeeper, knew that Xu Yue was back, so she reluctantly led her follower's younger brother A Jian to the mansion, and reported to Xu Yue about the situation in the village while eating.

In Junmei's eyes, Xu Yue is the only person she wants to be loyal to. Although Xu Erniang has to report, she will give a lot of information when reporting to Xu Yue.

Now Zhuangzi has added a new paper mill, and there are two more batches of refugees who have taken in.

Everything in the paper mill was as usual, the weather was cold, and the businessman who was going to deliver bamboo, the raw material for papermaking, sent a letter saying that he would not be able to come until the next year. Fortunately, Xu Yue has always had the habit of hoarding raw materials. factories are affected.

The only thing to pay attention to is the personnel arrangement of the two new groups of refugees.

In the past two years, Xu Yue has continuously acquired the surrounding mountains. Now the area of ​​Xujiazhuang has been upgraded from Zhuangzi to Dawubao like Gongsun's.

The inside and outside of Ubud are also clearly distinguished. The inner fort is still the same people as before, and the new refugees and the market have all been resettled in the outer fort.

However, the small bazaar in Neibao was still preserved and merged with the original exchange shop to form a new supply and marketing cooperative.

After dinner, Junmei asked: "The two groups of refugees who came later have already attended elementary literacy classes, and some of them are good candidates. I plan to arrange for them to study in the inner castle school system. Young lady, do you think it's okay?"

Xu Yue asked: "Has the identity and background been investigated clearly?"

Junmei nodded, and added: "All of them voluntarily signed the contract of selling their lives. Don't worry about that. There are a total of twenty suitable children, fifteen are orphans who escaped with their relatives, and the remaining five are parents." Still, their parents are very active in learning in literacy classes."

Xu Yue nodded, feeling that there was no problem.

Xu Erniang suddenly asked: "Is there anyone with a particularly good physique? Send them to the Buqu Camp."

Junmei shook her head, the two groups of refugees were different from the ones that Xu Dalang ran out to take back. The ones with strong physique were all adults, and it was impossible to find a suitable one among the teenagers.

As for adults, they are not considered within the scope of Parti Camp, unless they are brought back by Wang Pingping herself.

Xu Erniang pondered for a moment, and asked Junmei to give her a list of adult men, then put on a wooden face, and Xu Dalang, who was very reluctant, went to clean up the dishes together.

Every once in a while Xu Erniang always asks for a list of adult men, and all of them are young men with strong physiques.

Then, the selected young people will disappear from people's sight, and no one knows where Xu Erniang sent them all.

Only Xu Yue guessed that these people might have been sent to that mysterious cement factory that only sister and mother knew about.

The short report meeting ended here, and Junmei grabbed Ajian, who was pestering Xu Dalang to practice martial arts, and went home.

Mrs. Gan also came to pick up Zhao Adou, who was full of food and drink, and was sleeping on the soft support.

The three brothers and sister Xu Yue cleaned up and went back to their rooms to rest.
.
When the snow is falling, the New Year's Eve is also here.

In previous years, the five members of Xu Yue's family could not get together. This year's New Year, not only did the whole family get together, but there were also some extra people.

Such as Zhao Bei's three brothers and Mrs. Gan's mother and son.

There is also Lu Xun, the little general of the Yuan family who was brought back by Wang Pingping.

Now that they are familiar with each other, Xu Da has already figured out the real name of the little general. Knowing that Lu Xun's real name is Lu Yi, he just said "Xiao Yi" one by one.

Wang Pingping was the first to call out this name. The little general seemed very dissatisfied, but the object of dissatisfaction did not seem to include Wang Pingping, who just stared at Xu Da, and Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun who followed Xu Da to shout Xiaoyi.

However, these people are a round older than him, and now the Yuan family and the Gongsun family are in a close relationship of cooperation. As a 16-year-old junior, he can only grit his teeth and endure it.

Because of this, since entering Xujiazhuang, this handsome face has been shrouded in this cloud, which looks even more "no strangers should enter" than Xu Dalang.

When he first arrived, Lu Yi was like a frightened bird. Everything in Xujiawu Castle could startle him. Although he didn't show it on the face, none of the people present couldn't see the tense posture.

Xu Yue and Xu Erniang came in with copper pots that had been heated in advance until they boiled, and everyone sitting on the soft futons immediately stood up and looked over.

It is rare for the family to get together. Although there are many unimportant outsiders around, Xu Yue is still in a good mood and rolls up her sleeves to cook for herself, and prepares a sumptuous hot pot meal for the family.

Needless to say, the soup base made of big bone sticks has an extra sauerkraut, bean and rice pot bottom. This is the taste of southerners, and I have never seen such a method in the north.

The soup base stewed with soft broad beans and sauerkraut does not look very good, even a bit like pig food in the cowshed behind the house, but as the fire is turned on, the thick soup base gurgles and churns out for a while. The strange fragrance of people.

The side dishes include Xu Yue's favorite fat lamb rolls, as well as fresh green vegetables, bean sprouts, tofu, melon slices, pork belly, etc. The portions are full and must be enough.

With the special garlic dipping sauce, Zhang Fei was excited when he saw it.

When they first arrived in Xujiazhuang, the three brothers missed a fat sheep hot pot meal, and they never had the chance to wait for this fat lamb roll hot pot, and because of this, they missed it for two full years.

Now, in the third year since they came to Xujiazhuang, they finally waited for the steaming fat sheep roll hot pot from Xujiazhuang.

There are two low round tables in the room, which are more than enough to accommodate so many people. Xu Yue set up a mandarin duck pot on one side, and Ah Da, Ah Er, and the others served side dishes one by one. It is hard to see green in winter, but there are two on this dining table. Big basin.

Lu Yi was a little surprised, the Xu family is really extravagant!
When the dishes were served, everyone took their seats spontaneously, and Mrs. Gan and A Dou, the three brothers and sisters of Xu Yue, naturally sat together.

Zhao Bei, Zhang Fei, Xu Da, and Wang Pingping took their seats at the main table.

Zhao Yun looked at the two tables, and finally sat at the main table under Wang Pingping's gesture.

Lu Yi stood up and was about to go to the main table when Xu Yue suddenly stopped him, "Little General Lu, please sit with us, the seat is loose here."

As she said that, seeing the little general frowned, Xu Yue pointed to the two glass bottles full of high-grade wine on the main table and reminded: "My father and the others are going to drink today."

Zhang Fei immediately burst out laughing, rubbing his hands, and winked with Zhao Yun, Zhao Yun couldn't help showing a look of anticipation.

It is rare to have a drink in a year, and even Zhao Bei, who has always been restrained, couldn't help but look at the two glass bottles frequently.

Xu Da is the master, and he has no embarrassing thoughts. He has already put his hand on the glass bottle, and just waiting for Wang Pingping to say a word, he will have three cups alone first, to feel the long-lost spiciness.

Lu Yi looked at sister Xu Yue's friendly smiling face, then turned back to look at Xu Da and the others, seeing that none of these old men wanted to call him to be seated, he cast a gloomy glance at them, turned his head and walked towards Xu Yue Come.
